|| Alex loves you and your silly pop songs ||"Firstly, it's all thanks to Bruce's Humans Beware podcast number twenty-six that I've discovered the delights of Sweden's My Autumn Suns. I was being all gym-bunny-like tonight, after being lazy and dessert-obsessed for the past few weeks, and my trusty portable music device pulled up this podcast during its shuffle playlist. Aside from hearing Language of Flowers' "Tara Mascara" for the first time in years (it sound like a note-perfect Lush rip-off, for the record), I was taken by the first track, "Perfect", by this Swedish four-piece. While some of the track have a sweet, pretty sound, I can sense some dark overtones in their songs - "Again" has a Factory Records feel to it, and even "Plain", with its pretty vocals and synth tracks has a grey cloud looming above. But that's okay, because we all know it cuts away to perfect blue skies at the end, and these songs have that certain Swedish charm about them.”

|| Humans Beware ||"We're very Scando today - starting the whole shebang with My Autumn Sons, a great sounding Swedish band who I fell in love with this week. Here's a youtube for a different song to the one featured on today's mix. The video is a song called "Plain" and features guest vocals from Anna Odlund who is also the singer in Leonwalls ( track 13 today ). Have a look at this Video for "Plain" and then rush and listen to 'Perfect" in the mix today and the songs on their myspace and see why I love My Autumn Sons !!”

|| A Pleasant Dream ||"El próximo grupo ya ha aparecido en el BOX de este blog con alguno de sus temas más recientes. MY AUTUMN SONS son los suecos Anders Sundberg, Markus Majdalani (cantante de Small State) Anna Ödlund (vocalista de Leonwalls) y Mats (integrante de grupos como Mrs Miller o Feuer). Este "Perfect" es su primer álbum de ocho magníficos temas de pop perfecto y melódico con ligeras caricias electrónicas.”
